Animate This! / Community / NOTLD:R / Subterranea February 9, 2010
We all like going behind the scenes, right? When Mike Schneider, director of the Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated project, asked me to contribute a featurette to the upcoming DVD release, I was afraid I wouldn’t have the time to do so. Well, last week I gathered strength and put together a 6 minute […]

Philrose Productions / Trailers & Upcoming Films February 2, 2010
I am a man of many projects, a spinner of many plates, a weaver of many websites. In addition to my work at Animatus Studio, I work with writer/director John Vincent on developing his horror feature scripts. Today, we launched new Philrose Productions website, online at philrosefilms.com . I’ve been eager to leave behind the […]

I’ve had it with pretending I know everything. At least once a day, I get stumped by something I want to do, but Photoshop won’t let me. Or Premiere. Or Final Cut. Sure, I could look it up in the instructions. I could Google it. I could post questions on message boards. But I’ve done […]

Last week’s beige and gray design has been kicked aside like a tumbleweed. Now we have something simple, yet striking. It’s got the black and red and white scheme I’m so fond of, but the really special bit is the header. The sliding images which make up the menu can take visitors to any section […]

I’ve created a monster! I’ve stitched the Mike Boas blog back into the front page of Mad Dog Movies. The theme is most likely temporary, a work in progress. I’d like the video player to be prominent, but using Vimeo has its drawbacks. No iPhone support, for example. There was a time when I wanted […]

Anyone can recommend something popular like Harry Potter or Star Wars, so I’m instead singling out movies made by people I know. I’ll also be highlighting niche interests like […]

Film Journal / Trailers & Upcoming Films / Work October 30, 2009
I just watched American Grindhouse, the all-inclusive documentary about the history of exploitation films in America. It’s a great doc, shining a light on the entire spectrum of fringe movies, from the earliest days of cinema to today. My interest in the subject matter led me to become an “internet friend” of director Elijah Drenner […]

It’s been an embarrassingly long time since I updated this blog. Why is that? Am I spreading myself too thin? Perhaps I need to pull some of my many projects into one place. (Perhaps I’ve already been doing that on Facebook?) Perhaps I need to rethink my blogs, podcast, and website and make them all […]

Meanwhile, in Rochester, two of my films will be playing as part of The Little Theatre’s 25 Hour Horror Feast. The event starts Halloween Eve with a zombie walk, followed by a marathon of horror movies that continues through Halloween. A special horror-themed edition of Rochester’s Emerging Filmmakers Series will play that Saturday afternoon at […]
